CALIFORNIA: Just the Man

California's Governor Earl Warren passed
his magic wand over his political hat last week, and gave a lengthy
spiel about what he would produce. But he surprised no one when he
pulled out Joe Knowland's boy and named him U.S. Senator to succeed the
late Hiram Johnson.

At 37, Major William Fife Knowland, A.U.S.,will be America's youngest
Senator. Burly Earl Warren explained that Major Knowland, now with an
Army historical section in Paris, precisely fitted the spiel he had
made about the kind of man California's new Senator should be.
